Erlie in Columbia Pictures Shorts

Like the Three Stooges, Erlie was in the supporting role, and was uncredited for some films like "Teacher's Pest" by Charley Chase, and "Pardon My Berth Marks" by Buster Keaton.

Erlie was also in the deleted scenes for Chase and Shemp Howard. In 1937, she appeared as the sheriff's wife in Charley's first Columbia film, "The Grand Hooter," and played as the same wife in Shemp's "Open Season For Saps" five years later.

In 1938, she appeared with her only daughter Margaret and Leonard Kibrick in the sidewalk deleted scene called "Time Out for Trouble," and still the same with different children Robert Blake and Janet Burston in Shemp's "Off Again, On Again." In "Pie a La Maid," Erlie was with her same daughter, and she told Charley to get out of the trolley. Erlie was also all by herself honking horns in the deleted scene in "Many Sappy Returns."

In 1939, she appeared in "The Sap Takes a Wrap" as Mahoney's wife. She told Charley it was the sheriff who was trying to visit. In the deleted scene, she had a phone call from deputy Vernon Dent, who is in the deleted scene, he told Bud Jamison to go to the club to get this coat to somebody.

In 1940, she appeared in "The Heckler" as the spectator's wife, she threw the ball into the baseball player, and did the same in her last film herself called "Mr. Noisy" by Shemp six years later.
